John, 

Yesterday, President Trump was asked if he would commit to a peaceful
transfer of power. He [ [link removed] ]refused to do so.

In the words of Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT), for a U.S. president to say
this is "unthinkable and unacceptable." Today, the U.S. Senate passed a
resolution by unanimous consent reaffirming the commitment to "the orderly
and peaceful transfer of power."

There is no longer any doubt: President Trump is setting the table to
attempt a coup. There is new evidence every day pointing to the increased
likelihood of a constitutional crisis and civil unrest. Republican
legislators in Pennsylvania told [ [link removed] ]The Atlantic that they have spoken to
the Trump campaign about bypassing the vote tally, and directly appointing
the presidential electors themselves. This is happening in other swing
states as well.

The situation is so dire that today, even Trump’s ally Mitch McConnell
(R-KY) [ [link removed] ]pushed back against the president, stating that “there will be
an orderly transition, just as there has been every four years since
1792.” 

We are facing a threat to our democracy unlike any our nation has ever
seen: an assault from within by our chief executive. While our democratic
institutions are built to weather assaults, they are not well suited for
attacks from our president. They need our help.  

[ [link removed] ]We are calling on you and everyone you know to urge state lawmakers to
elect a victor based on the voice of the voters, without legislative
interference.

RepresentUs is a fiercely nonpartisan organization. Our movement is
comprised of Americans across the political spectrum. We believe in truth,
justice, and integrity. And we all agree that free and fair elections are
more important than party affiliation.

In recent weeks, everything has changed. We’re no longer dealing with
partisan rancor. The goalpost of what is politically inconceivable to many
of us keeps moving. We’re dealing with a rogue commander-in-chief who is
[ [link removed] ]falsely claiming that vote-by-mail is fraudulent, and actively
discrediting democracy in order to overthrow the will of the people,
should he lose at the ballot box.

We are experiencing the most profound breakdown in our democracy since the
Civil War. It is time to remind the American people what we all believe
in: Democracy. Truth. Integrity. Law & Order. This is the last red line.

We are the last line of defense. It’s on all of us to recognize the
gravity of what is said in the video above, stand up, and demand to be
counted.

Josh Silver
Director
